Fantasy Nascar Picks (Pocono)

Welcome to TimersSports

We are back at Pocono Raceway this weekend for the 2nd time this season. Pocono is a 2.5 mile flat racetrack with 3 different turns which means you will probably not ever get a perfect setup in your racecar. The key in term of fantasy picks will be looking at results from earlier this season. We only raced here about two month ago, so overall the cars who were fast should not change. Typically Pocono is a easy track to make fantasy picks. Certain drivers will stood this week and those are the guys you would want to target.

Yahoo -

A:

Start: Kyle Busch

Bench: Kevin Harvick

Reason -Really shouldn't matter who you start on Sunday. Both are very fast and should lead laps during this race. I am going with Busch over Harvick once again because I think it best to roll 'em while they are hot. Don't plan to change my gameplan now.

B:

Start: Carl Edwards, Jamie Mac

Bench: Austin Dillon, Kurt Busch

Reason - I actually had Kahne in my lineup over Dillon, but I forgot to save it. So I will take those bonus points and run with Dillon. I like Dillon a lot, but I don't have enough faith to start him outside of Daytona. Wish I did though. Edwards and JMac are great choices this week in my opinion. Edwards was fast in both practices on Saturday and JMac have a habit of finishing up front at Pocono. I like both of them this weekend.

C:

Start - Danica Patrick (5)

Bench - David Ragan (3)

Reason -I had no intentions of starting Danica, but I am gonna roll the dice for two reasons: 1) This is one of Ragan's worst racetracks. 2) Danica have proven to run well here. So why not roll the dice and hope for a solid top 20 finish. I have nothing to lose at this point in the season.
